Skuld: "That's right. New adventures with friends is a great way to bury sad memories deep within one's heart."

Ephemer: "And we can't stand to lose anyone now. The darkness in this world is not the same as what we faced in the other one."

Chirithy: "Different? How?"

Ephemer: "It feels more...complex, like there's more to it than meets the eye. Almost like it has its own will."

Skuld: "Don't worry, we'll look into it. In the meantime, you know what your job is. Fill The Player in on everything, okay?"

Chirithy: "Will do!"

Skuld: "What was that about? There's no need to worry anyone until we know for sure what it is."

Ephemer: "I know. I'm sorry, but this concerns everyone. I get a really bad feeling every time something happens in this world that didn't happen in the other one. This Union Cross business also feels...off. Something's not right."

Skuld: "But we were told to make it happen. It's in the rules, remember?"
